I am looking to buy my first smart watch and I was wondering if the Apple Watch Series 2 is still a good option to choose since it has been discontinued. Will I have issues with software or support in the future if I buy the series 2?
Series 3 is a bit expensive so I’m either going to choose Series 1 or 2.
Thanks.

I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's unannounced plans in respect of the compatibility of Apple Watch Series 2 models with future software versions or about hardware support, beyond the Limited Warranty period.
You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community.

Hi Jonathan
Thanks for your reply. Can I ask you which one would you prefer to buy at this time from either the Series 1 or the 2?
I am just looking for opinions and suggestions.
Thanks.
If choosing between those models, I would definitely personally choose the Series 2 🙂
Apple Watch Series 2
